Thankful Thursday #44

Welcome to Thankful Thursday! If you'd like to participate, just copy the T.T. button on my sidebar and paste it into your post. Next write down five things you are thankful for this week. Finally, come back here and link up with Mr. Linky. It's that easy!

Here's my list for this week:

1) I am thankful that my husband values being healthy. He wants us to be healthy (both spiritually and physically) and he is willing to let me try all sorts of healthy recipe's on him (as long as it doesn't contain peas!LOL!). I appreciate how much he values these things.

2) I am thankful that Tim and I are on a retreat and we have family who is willing to step in and house sit for us while we are away. As a couple, it is so important to take time to be together.

3) I am thankful that my kids did great on their three week reports that just came home from school! WOOOOHOOO! We celebrated with Ice cream floats for a snack. :)

4) I am thankful that I am part of a praise band at my church. If you asked me when I feel closest to God I would answer, "When I'm singing." Being a part of a praise band gives me lots of opportunities to stop and sing during the week.

5) I am thankful for the power of prayer! Recently Tim and I were talking to a friend whose marriage is in trouble and when we had no more words that would encourage, we just stopped and prayed for them. God is the one source of comfort that our words cannot compete with! He is the God of comfort!

Oh Sonya, your #5, the power of prayer!! The prayer of a righteous man availeth much!! Glory to God for the opportunity to pray and commune with Him!!Great list, and I love singing too!! Keep on praying and praising!!

Sonya, I love to worship by singing, too. Just posted a piece last night on my blog, in fact, that tells about a surprise audience I had during what I thought was a private singing session to the Lord :)

Gotta love all your wonderful blessings this week. We share quite a few of them in common. Besides our wonderful Father in whom there wouldn't be Thankful Thursdays after all, but I too love singing and lifting our voice to Heaven.

I too, will be adding my prayers to the couple whose marriage is in peril. May God soften both of their hearts and allow them to see each other with His eyes.

Thank you for stopping by my blog and for your encouraging comments. I had to come by and take a look, and I can see that we have a lot of spiritual things in common and that I am really going to like it here!! :) I think I shall certainly take part in your Thankful Thursday! It's always wonderful to give thands!!!

And I just had to note something else that I noticed... it seems our names are quite similar, too...you are Sonya Lee, and I am Tanya Lea...you are Thomas, and I am Thom! ;o) Just a neat little tidbit I thought I'd throw in there!! Have a blessed day and enjoy the time away with your hubby!! <><
